So I am trying to get into the header-only-lib game and I wonder how to deal with the fact that neovim grays out all my implementation code? I temporarily do a #define MY_COOL_LIB_IMPLEMENTATION so that I get nice colors. But I have to comment/uncomment on any change-compile. Obviously not ideal. Any suggestions?

@pythno maybe neovim or whatever handles the syntax coloring for it allows something like
#if __in_editor__
#define MY_COOL_LIB_IMPLEMENTATION
#endif

@pythno or do it the other way around:
#ifndef ACTUALLY_BUILDING
#define MY_...
#endif
and pass -DACTUALLY_BUILDING=1 to the compiler commandline (and probably don't commit that part of the code, as it's just a hack for development)
